Скачать или смотреть 'Christmas gets a bit tight in budget' Americans struggling with cost-of-living crisis for holiday

With Christmas around the corner, residents in Trump-loving Michigan are finding life a bit too hard.

Trump swept rural Michigan on promises to ease the cost of living. But now, persistent inflation is testing that pledge — and the patience of voters who helped put him in office.

Nationwide, inflation is running at roughly a third of its mid-2022 peak of more than 9%, easing to 2.7% in November, but that headline figure masks sharp increases in everyday staples such as beef, coffee and orange juice, which have climbed at double-digit rates this year.

Trump's approval rating edged down to 39% in a Reuters/Ipsos poll released last week as some Republicans soured on his handling of the economy.
